    Something is wrong with my cat.

    He's a ~4 year old outdoor male and ever since he came in last night he's been extremely shy and quiet, and will not let me touch him outside of a few rubs behind his ears. If I try and pick him up, he goes pretty much limp and doesn't just whimper or cry but kind of howls and has actually...

    Kitten doing something kinda funny.

    My kitten has recently taken on the interest of jumping on my other cats back and biting the back of his neck/upper back. The funny thing is that my cat just kinda walks around with Jasper on his back Is the kitten trying to establish some dominance or do you think he's simply playing? I've...

    My cat is a wuss...

    I recently brought home an abandoned kitten 4-5 days ago (don't worry, he got to the vet ) and things are starting off not too bad between the little guy and resident cat, Roscoe. Over the past few days I've been playing with the kitten on one of my towels and today I decided to present it to...

    Re-introducing my two cats...

    Hi folks, I have two cats who have lived together for about a year now and were recently separated from one another for a few weeks. If you'd like to know, my long-term girlfriend and I broke up; she took 'her cat' and I took 'my cat.' Her roommate isn't a fan of cats and their apartment is...

    Do any of your cats play fetch?

    Recently a kitten of mine has taken a liking to playing fetch with me! She'll find one of her toy mice and prance on over, drop it in front of me and then cry. So I'll throw it to the other end of the apartment and she'll bolt across the room, find it and then bring it back for more! Anybody...

    I think someone else is feeding my cat.

    Well, I noticed a couple weeks ago that one of my cats was putting on a little weight, so I started cutting back on his food intake just a bit. I haven't put him on a scale or anything, but it seems like he's actually gained weight. He absolutely loves food, is a total pig and if someone else...

    What causes soft stools in cats?

    I have two kittens who everyonce in awhile have problems with soft stools. They are both long-haired, so it can get a bit disgusting when there is feces on the floor and all in their fur. My youngest kitten, who is about 4 months old, just went to the bathroom and somehow managed to get a bit...

    Bought a covered litterbox today.

    Yes! What a difference! Not only are my cats no longer making a huge mess, but they have also stopped their 5-minute digging frenzy after they do their business. And it was on sale!

    How to get an indoor/outdoor cat to go to the bathroom outside?

    Hi folks, With the streak of nice weather we've been having in New England, my cat has been enjoying spending his nights outside. However, even if he spends up to 12 hours outside, he waits until he comes inside to go to the bathroom! I don't mind cleaning out the litter box at all, I just...

    I've had it.

    Wow. This is the fourth or fifth time this has happened with our cat since we adopted him at the end of the summer. Every once in awhile, we will wake up to the lovely aroma of cat feces smeared on the floor and/or carpet in several spots throughout the apartment. Not only this, but he will...

    Cat doesn't want to go outside.

    I know most of you are hardcore advocates for indoor-only, but I honestly believe that cats should be let outside of the house and should be allowed to hunt and run around and have fun. One of my cats has been very reluctant to go outside. Everyonce in awhile if I have the door open while I'm...

    Cat won't stop crying for food.

    Guys, I just don't get it. He gets fed the proper amount of food each day, yet he still walks around the apartment crying for food all the time. I'd say he just wants attention, but most of the time he'll jump off my lap or walk away soon after I start petting him. We keep their food in a...

    Cats gorging themselves!

    Hi guys, So I've got a 2 month old female kitten and a 6 month old male kitten and I'm having a bit of a problem with them. I used to free-feed the older male, but when we got the other kitten we found out that he was finishing his food and then stealing hers as well. He started gaining a bit...

    Cats are hungry all the time!

    I just don't understand it, guys. My two kittens are on the Science Diet and are fed properly every day, yet both of them are constantly crying for food throughout the day. We feed them half of their food in the morning before my girlfriend and I leave for work and school, and then the other...

    How to stop cats eating from wrong foodbowls.

    ARGH. I've been having a problem lately with our older male cat eating from whichever food bowl he pleases. It's gotten to the point where I take away their food bowls when no one is home because I know he'll stuff his face and eat BOTH bowls of food. The sets of food bowls are about 5-6 feet...

    Cat not completely going to the bathroom, causing problems...

    Hey everyone, I have a 4.5 month old male kitten and he has a bit of a problem. Every once in awhile he just won't finish going to the bathroom, and have poop hanging out of his ass. He sits on it, and then it gets stuck in his fur, and he then proceeds to wipe it on the ground wherever he...

    Cats make a mess with the litter box!

    I just don't get it. I have a 5 month old male kitten and whenever he goes to the bathroom he spends a lot of time in there and makes a huge mess, kicking litter everywhere around the litter box. I have to vacuum the area on a regular basis! Any ideas?

    Introducing my cats...with a slight twist from the norm.

    Ello, About 2 months ago I adopted a goofy little kitten from the MSPCA and he's been great. We went back there just for fun the other day to give all the cats some love and we stumbled upon a beautiful one month old long-haired tortie. We had been talking about getting a playmate for Roscoe...
